Music Therapist

We are S&R Group and for over 60 years we have been building communities "where friendships flourish and life is enriched". We are looking for people who, like us, believe the work we do has a positive impact on their community and that together we can continue supporting our Residents and their families.

Long Term Care is a unique experience, when you come to work you are coming into a Resident’s home. Your feedback and input is used to improve our daily practices, and your energy goes a long way to putting smiles on our Residents’ faces. 

We provide a fulsome orientation to set you up for success, and ongoing opportunities to grow your skills and take on specialized roles. Every day is different — and every day you make a difference. If you were working for us as an Music Therapist , here are some of the things you would have done:

• Provide 10.5 hours of musical therapy services per week

• Recommend Resident for either Individual or Small Group Sessions as determined through assessment and consultation with Life Enrichment Team.
• Formulate Music Therapy Treatment Plans, stating goals and objectives for Residents. Residents in Group Programs must share the goals and objectives of the Group Treatment Plan. Individual Treatment Plans are devised specifically for the Individual Resident.
